The Year Round Distribution Project was officially established in 1992. The YRDP provides monthly supplemental food supplies to about 30 food pantries and social service agencies, helping to supply about 5,000 meals per month to families in need of assistance. The project now represents over 40% of CRFP's budget.

The Year Round Distribution Project takes place ten months out of the year. The food pantries the Capital Region Food Program works with place an order for the amount of food that they would like to receive at the distribution. Since February 2009, the CRFP purchases the food for the distribution through Associated Grocers of New England. The food is distributed from the AGNE offices.
